Hey Artista, thanks for the post and the "update" Iam sure he tries his best.
I have a question for you: Did you plan on calling in next BaldTruth-show? Would it be possible if you could ask Spencer to tell us about Replicel, since he was supposed to tell us something some months ago? I would do it, but I am from Italy and the time difference is a bit counterproductive...

I meant to write - 'SAFETY and EFFECTIVITY'

[Artista]

Hello everyone,
My apologies for the delay. I have been just so BUSY with my work and my family life.
Ive not been able to spend enough time online via my computer and being active on the forum via a 'smartphone' isn't the best for me. Unfortunately I had not responded right away to Dr. Wesley either-my apologies.
I emailed Dr Wesley this morning just to verify on what exactly I can share here regarding our last conversation a week ago.
Hey Wnt, I understand your frustration.
None of us really know just how well Dr Wesley's upcoming method will turn out to be but we all must stay positive, REGARDLESS.
Remember this, that private Skype PowerPoint presentation/conversation of that evolving technology(complete with photos) was shared with a small number of people including some doctors, Spencer Kobren and myself.
I would imagine that I was also included into the conversation because of my activity here.
I cant speak for others but along with Spencer, I was HIGHLY IMPRESSED with what was discussed and shown , the 'before and afters' pics showing the effects were GREAT.

But as Spencer has said many many times on his show, it was all very ANECDOTAL.
That is so true..Time will tell just how effective it will become (I feel good about it).
Dr Wesley is doing his best to 'cross all the T's and dot all the i's' in regards to SAFETY and EFFECTIVELY.

Once Dr Wesley responds to my email Ill then take time out to post again.
Stay Strong everyone.

How did it go with this?

This Guy is an artist of marketing! Don't you guys realize that he is on the payroll of that dr wesley to promote his "technique" that never comes

[censur]

Just heard from Dr Wesley last night.
I will verify with him exactly what I can share here on the forum with everyone first ..
Tomorrow I will post more here ( am at work right now)
Cheers all !!
His work IS innovative !!

Do you mean that there is some innovation not included in his two patents?

Hi Recidive Unfortunately not yet.
Im sure Ill hear from him soon though.
Maybe Ill give his office a call.
No worries though. As I have said a few times before, Dr Wesley has a WHOLE LOT on his 'plate' I can only imagine the pressures he is feeling.
Working at his Clinic with his regular patients and then having to work on the Phase Testings too.
Ill keep you all informed -thanks Recidive

Hang in there! I'm sure he's super busy. Maybe he helped Lebron restore his hairline? Seriously though what the heck did he do?

[Recidive]

you make it sound like he has to work day and night, and through the weekends too. i assume he simply reduced his regular patients to have some free time for the pilofocus stuff. nevertheless, i appreciate his efforts to bring some innovations. but the delays are dramatic. pilofocus should have been out already. my guess is that it definitely will take one full year to complete the development and enable the device for 1000 graft sessions and above, not to mention training other surgeons and opening the device to the public. i don't expect other surgeons adopting this device before 2017 or 2018.

2018?!!! What the ****! Forget about it ...that time I am sure we will have something less invasive than this

Hello everyone,
Im back (again). There are two reasons why I have not been active on our Forum for quite a while.
First of which being , my regular life and my work-life both got 'in the way'
and as Spencer Kobren has basically said many times in the past, It is good to step back once in a while and not get too 'wrapped-up' in the hairloss conversations.
For some it can become very emotionally DRAINING...possibly damaging for our youth.
Especially since new forms of future hair treatments can and do take time to evolve (to come forth gradually)
The term 'Patience is a Virtue' isn't just a word-play.
Now to update,
I have not heard from Dr Wesley in quite a while but that IS NOT a bad thing!
You must remember that Dr Wesley is so VERY BUSY with what he has been doing.
I meant to contact him approx 3 weeks ago but as Ive said,,my life got in the way also,
I know that Dr Wesley WILL contact me at the appropriate time.
As soon as Im done here I will send him an email but we all must be patience.

I DO realize just how desperate some of us can feel to be, especially our younger guys.
Stay strong my forum brothers!!

Artista, did you get any reply from Dr Wesley?

i think it's definitely possible to use the hairs of the legs, but would you really want that? is the hair structure of your leg hairs similar to the scalp hairs? i too have a lot of hairs on the legs but they are thinner and more curved compared to my scalp hair. so in my case, this would look relatively poor. for some people it could be a nice solution though.

The leg hairs on me are actually as straight if not straighter than my scalp hair. Yes, they're fine, but there's enough of them for some pretty coverage if not at least filler.

It's taking ridiculously long. Nothing to applaud.

However, I did find this one Google's patent search:

https://www.google.com/patents/US20140236181

Note this from the patent:



This is something I've raised a number of times but everyone's been dodging the question: what about using leg/arm hair from other areas?

The procedure is ridiculously fast for removing follicles, so why not take hair from the legs? I've got more than 10,000 follicles available. Combine that with follicles available in the scalp donor area and you've got a 'cure' so to say. That said, why the hell hasn't Dr. Wesley touched on this?

Note this from the patent:

Although this disclosure focuses on extraction of head hair for subsequent transplantation, the disclosed technology also applies to extraction of hair follicles from other parts of the human body, such as the arm pit and pelvic regions, for the purpose of permanent hair removal.
